Must be the liberal media's fault.

Wonder what the NRA will say.

Scientists are as certain about man made climate change as they are about cigarettes causing cancer, or the age of the universe:

(Apologies if there is already a thread, too lazy to look).

The heads of the EPA from the last four Republican administrations are calling out the current leadership on their denial of proven science.  The response from conservative congressmen is embarrassingly predictable.

The BBC used to have a show about desert island top 10 discs.  My pop culture tastes vary with the weather, but if I had to make a list tonight, in no particular order:

U2 - Joshua Tree
Stones - Exile on Main St.
Smiths - Strangeways, Here we Come
Nick Cave/Badseeds - Push the Sky Away
Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Bob Marley/Wailers - Exodus
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Since we all know that the mainstream media is essentially the propaganda machine of the GOP, it is good to see that the alternative media is finally exposing the truth about the GOP/teapublicans:

What the heck is it with Republican VP candidates?  Last time around, the walking punch line that was Palin torpedoed their chances, and now they have a pathological liar running.  Between the phony marathons, the phony marathon times, the lies about Obama speaking at a factory that was shut in the Bush presidency, and Clint "the furniture whisperer" Eastwood, this week may be the reason they loose what should have been a very winnable election.

A Note for Clarity:  The first couple of this thread's pages were originally part of the "Art Bell Quits Coast" thread.  When the ABQC thread started moving toward a discussion of music, that discussion was split off into this separate thread.

The Smiths I know it's over

Best..Band..Ever!

Don't get me started on the Smith's, becasue the RealCool Daddio will start to sound like a Justin Bieber fan.  And this is from a guy who thinks's the Stone's Exile on Main St. is the best album ever.

But really - best band ever.

Some of my favorite guests, too - the EVP folks!
